| 570978 | 2007-07-21 12:32:00 | I'm a blogging virgin so will await with interest to see if anyone writes to me. I'm thinking about putting in a heat pump and wonder if the outside unit can be installed in a slightly enclosed double carport. By slight enclosed I mean 3 walls are brick and only the entrance is open. So I guess it's a huge garage without doors. I dislike the look of the outside units in a prominant position and inside this 'garage' there will be a back to back situation with the inside unit. Am I making sense?:confused: |

You will probably need to consider some means of ensuring good air circulation in the garage in all wind conditions. If the garage is a dusty spot that could add a bit of maintenance. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

The property I'm currently renting has a couple of the heatpump external units UNDER the house, because there is adequate ventilation. It is enclosed most sides, except for some large vents at the front and back walls. | somebody (208) | ||
